Handheld GPS

[whit210]

Any of you folks use a handheld GPS to mark waypoints while in your boat. What brand and what do you think of the performance?

I have the Garmin eTrex Vista, and use it all the time on the water. I couldn't be happier with it.

I have a couple - both Garmin's - there are a must for accurate trolling speed and setting waypoints to your favorite hot spot. In fact, that's why so many fishfinders have incooperated them into their units - another great tool. If you get one you that can download map it much more user friendly to see where you are at and a must if you're fishing after dark and want to see the shoreline.

Garmin Rhino. It also has a radio and a bunch of other bells and whistles.

I have a Garmin Rino, a Garmin Nuvi for the vehicles, and a Lowrance iFinder for trails and fishing.
If it didn't have the ability to find other Rinos, I wouldn't own the thing. The screen is too small and hard to use as a GPS. Garmins move the buttons on every model.

I've used a few other Garmins, and they all work, but the Lowrance is a better unit in my book.

+ 1 on the Garmins. It's helpful for relocating structure in the middle of a lake. Or, go to saved waypoints to remind me where I did well on a trip. But, since fish tend to move, the need for ultra specific spots hasn't been critical.

However, I have an old boat with no frills - so I use my GPS all the time to give me my trolling speed.
